2022 World Cup Betting Picks & Predictions: Brazil vs. Switzerland (Monday)

It’s been an eventful opening week to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and we’re starting to get an idea of who will push through to the Round of 16 and who will be heading home after just three matches. There haven’t been too many surprises in groups G and H as Brazil and Portugal both took care of business and collected three points in their opening games. However, in a stacked Group H, this second match day will have a major impact on the futures of South Korea, Ghana, and Uruguay. Let’s dive into each game and get the best bet locked in! Here’s a closer look at Brazil vs. Switzerland.

2022 World Cup Betting Picks & Predictions: Brazil vs. Switzerland

Group G: Brazil vs. Switzerland (Stadium 974, Doha; 7 p.m.)

The top two teams in Group G collide on Monday, and as you’d probably expect, Brazil is favored to win (-205). Switzerland comes in as a +600 underdog, and the draw is +330.

Brazil looks like a team that’s on a mission, and I’m going to ride with them on the moneyline. It carries some juice at -205, but I feel like it’s the best option for this game. The ankle injury to Neymar (PSG) is worrisome, and I won’t feel nearly as confident laying 1.5 goals (+140) if he’s not on the pitch. However, there’s still plenty of firepower on this team with Richarlison (Tottenham), Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid), and Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal). Brazil fired 23 shots (9 on goal) in their 2-0 win over Serbia while controlling 59% of the possession. This squad means business, and I like them to collect another three points on Monday.

Bet: Brazil (-205 via DraftKings)
